Fiverr – Great for inexpensive graphic designs like logo design, flyer and print designs. I suggest hiring people who have portfolio example work that you like. Keep in mind that if you like a designer for logo design, they may not be good at other types of design, so stick to using them for the past work you can see that they do. Also feel free to message a few freelancers before choosing who to use. Always get the original editable source files even if you don’t know how to use them, save it for future use.

Domain Names:

NameSilo.com – Flat fee (no raising rates), free domain privacy, easy to use and no bloated marketing (don’t use Godaddy, they slowly hike up their prices and bombard you with ads)

BustaName.com – Tool to help you find an available Domain Name for your business or idea.

Cloudways is no longer recommended due to a huge drop in tech support and customer service quality.
